Balfont

Balfont (died 1559) was a retainer of the French nobleman Stephane Narcisse during the mid-16th century. In 1559, he was sent to coerce Gabriel Montgomery and Father Michael into testifying to King Francis II of France's role in the death of his father, Henry II of France, but he was ambushed and killed by Francis and his half-brother Sebastian de Poitiers as he guarded Montgomery at a farmhouse.
